Israeli professors from Bar-Ilan University, and Professor Ofer Israeli from Georgetown University in Washington, sent a letter to Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and an end to the Turkish occupation of Northern Cyprus.

Despite the signed agreements the Turkish authorities decided to join Israel’s rampant enemies, calling for extermination of the Israeli nation, the letter says. Now it is time to act without any restrictions. First, the Israeli government can publicly back Armenians’ demand to recognize the Armenian Genocide by Turks. The letter says that Israel has no interests that would prevent it from assuming a specific position on the Armenian Genocide. Finally, the Israeli government can make the morally right decision on the matter, urging Turkey to admit its responsibility for the Genocide.

The professors believe that Turkey must make a compromise on occupation of Northern Cyprus, izrus.co.il reported. In their address to Netanyahu the authors also recalled Kurds and their aspiration to establish national autonomy in the south-east of Turkey.
